#SPACE AGE BED FRAME TV#
I found a few fitting ornaments at Michaels like a flying saucer, rocket Santa, and an aluminum tray TV dinner (space age technology!). Of course I used some of my vintage reflector ornaments and threaded ball fringe comets. To decorate the tree I used blue and gold star wired garland and a variety of starburst ornaments I’ve collected over the years. This year was no exception! For this one I used ufos, boomerang shapes, and starbursts, finished off with silver metallic fringe. You can see examples of that here and here. One of my favorite Christmas crafts to do each year is to make custom no-sew tree skirts. It has white lights, but my vintage Norelco color wheel adds some festive color to it as well. I went with this slim white tree from Treetopia which fits nicely. Since it’s a small room I needed a tree that wouldn’t overwhelm the space. For now let me take you on a little tour of the room!
I’ll be following this post up with others detailing the DIY crafts I did with links to materials, so stay tuned for that. Fortunately I was able to craft my way through enough projects to make it pretty much exactly what I had in mind. Unfortunately, it was a difficult task finding the appropriate items to deck my halls in this theme, aside from one or two retro style ornaments I found at Michael’s. Think Christmas cards with Santa riding a rocket, flying saucer shaped Shiny Brites, and even movies like Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. I was inspired by the atomic and space age depictions of Christmas popular in the mid 20th century. I was in a pretty serious car accident in November, so for a moment I didn’t think I’d be able to rally in time to make this happen, but I was able to work it out and I’m super happy with the result. Ahhh I am so excited to show you our home office’s Christmas theme!! I’ve had this retro sci-fi idea floating around in my mind forever and I’m so glad I was able to pull it all together.
